Certainly if administration of the Colonial office as a whole had any pre-existing bias it was toward the Zionists, as Churchill’s remarks just before the riots (quoted in a recent post to Neocon; I assume you read it) make abundantly clear.

That's not what my history books tell me (I'm currently reading Fromkin's Peace to End All Peace, have you read it?). The government in London favored the Zionists, while the Colonial Office cursed the troubles that this policy brought them. They tended to favor the undemanding Arabs, and wish they could have had the simple job of dealing only with them, instead of the demanding, socialist Zionists, and the conflicts that their presence set off. Churchill was pro-Zionist. The Colonial Office, with some exceptions, was not.
